\ a BS a SERINE The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, January 4,1989 9 SPORTS Mounts top Tunkhannock 75-62 for third place finish By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The Dallas Mountaineers took an early 6-Olead againstMeyersin the opening round of the Dallas Unico Tournament dedicated to the late Al Pisaneschi but the ' Mohawks came back with a strong CW at rally behind their top scorer Curtis Lloyd and defeated the Mounts 64-59. : The win moved the Mohawks into the finals against Wyoming Seminary last Thursday night at the Dallas gym. Lloyd scored 28 points in the game to keep his ~ Mohawks in front. Dallas rallied in the second half and came within six points of their opponents the Mohawks were able iE 3 to hold the Dallas offense off. In the consolation game Thurs- day night with Tunkhannock, the Mountaineers took a 44-23 point lead against the Tigers at the end of the first half. Then, despite a rally by the Tigers in the second half, the Mounts managed to outscore Tunkhannock 14-4 in the final minutes of the fourth period to win 75-62 and finish third in the tournament. The Mounts fourth quarter surge was aided by excellent shoot- ing as they hit 15 of 19 attempts including six consecutive goals by Eric Nardone off the bench. . “The kids played perhaps their best basketball this season in the first half,” said Coach Clarence Ozgo. “Our defense played an excellent game and we scored from the defense.” “They let up some in the open- ing of the third period when they missed six layups but they re- gained their composure and did what they had to do. They are improving with each game and beginning to put everything to- gether. We should be able to sur- prise some teams in the second half but it's too early to look that far ahead. We have played only three league games at this point,” Ozgo said. The Mountaineers are sched- uled to play Bishop Hoban and Coughlin this week, two of the biggest teams in the league. Hoban has three starters at 6-7, 6-5 and 6-4 and Coughlin has players at 6- 7, 6-6 and 6-4. “Coughlin is one of the best teams in our division,” Ozgo said. “Bishop Hoban is good but Cough- lin has beaten them twice. We have our work cut out for us and we are at a slight disadvantage. “Randy Coolbaugh, perhaps one of the best if not our best scorer, will probably be out for two weeks due to an injury. We will have to regroup and see what we can do. We will take one game at a time.” MVP ~ Wendy Cave, right, junior high basketball player was named Most Valuable Player in the Dallas Junior High Tournament sponsored by Dallas Kiwanis Club.

He comes from a wrestling family and has two brothers, Carl and John. Kaschenbach has only18 wres- tlers out this season but that is enough to fill every one of the 13 weight classes. “It will take a while to recruit more wrestlers,” said Kaschen- bach, “But there is an advantage in teaching at both junior and senior high and knowing the kids.” Two weeks ago Kaschenbach'’s wrestlers took third place in the Troy Tournament and during the holidays, they finished 10th of 16 teams in the Governor Mifflin Holiday Tournament. Gerry Ogurkis finished second at 160pounds and Ron Post came in second at 171. Jim Newell came in third at 125 pounds and Jim O'Donnell finished fourth at 135 pounds.

The problem (for the future) is nine of our weight classes are seniors,” Kaschenbach explained. “We hope to be competitive and improve as the season continues and send our boys to districtsand then to regionals.

The Trojans came down court for a shot but missed and that was the ball game,” Bearde concluded. The Knights were scheduled to host Wyoming Seminary Tuesday night then travel to GAR to play the Grenadiers Friday. “Seminary is a good team and we look forward to playing them at home,” Bearde said. “They came in second to Meyers in the Dallas Unico game. All their players are back from last season so they have experience and they also have decent size. They have some bal- anced shooters so we can't close in on one man. “GAR is always a challenge. hope to hang in there and try to win enough games to get into the playoffs. There are’ a lot of good teams in our division and our goal is to get into the playoffs at the end of the season,” Bearde said.
